[Cmake] Can source be elsewhere?

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi John,

Here is what you can do:

PROJECT(SOMETHING)
SET(SOMETHING_SRCS something.cpp another.cpp)
SET(SOURCE_DIRECTORIES /some/path/source)

SET(REAL_SRCS)
FOREACH(file ${SOMETHING_SRCS)
  SET(REAL_SRCS ${REAL_SRCS} "${SOURCE_DIRECTORIES}/${SOMETHING_SRCS}")
ENDFOREACH(file)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/some/path/include)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(something ${REAL_SRCS} )
